The Legend at Bergamont

The Legend at Bergamont is a public golf course in Oregon, Wisconsin, designed by Andy North, the two-time U.S. Open champion who has built a second career in golf course architecture. North, who grew up in Wisconsin and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has designed several courses in his home state. The Legend opened in the early 2000s as part of a residential development on rolling terrain southwest of Madison, offering a championship-length layout that reflects North's understanding of competitive golf and the region's natural landscape character. The course occupies land with moderate elevation changes typical of southern Wisconsin's glacial topography, featuring wooded corridors, wetland areas, and open meadow sections. The routing takes advantage of these varied settings, with holes playing through mature hardwood stands and others opening to broader views across the property. Water comes into play on several holes, and the bunkering and green complexes reflect modern design principles with an emphasis on strategic options and playability for different skill levels. As a daily-fee facility, The Legend at Bergamont serves both local golfers from the Madison metropolitan area and visitors exploring Wisconsin's public golf offerings. The course provides a test of length and accuracy while remaining accessible to recreational players, a balance that characterizes many of North's designs. The Bergamont development includes a second course, The Oaks, creating a golf-centered community in this growing suburb west of Madison.
